[Peritoneal closure using absorbable knotless device during laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy]

Abstract

Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is one of the gold standards of pelvic organ surgery. However, this intervention is associated with long operation duration. One of the steps of this intervention (peritoneal closure) can be shortened using several methods of suturing (e.g. staples). Recently, a self-anchoring barbed suture has been described for wound closure. The goal of this initial feasibility study was to describe the use of the barbed suture (V-Loc™) in peritoneal closure during laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.
